Beskrivning

Ponjavica Nature Park has two interesting and easily accessible spots near Omoljica village. One spot is a heronry in Omoljica, the western section on the map below. There is an observation station covering the wide area with a nice look at the Ponjavica river. Here you can find vitögd dykand, Skedand, Kricka, skäggdopping as well as many heron species including the localy rare Kohäger.

The other spot is somewhat less than 2 km to the southeast with a nice walking path with benches looking at the river, where common are knölsvan, Storskarv, and sothöna. If you are lucky vit stork or svart stork may fly over the benches.

Extra information

“The most significant modern ornithological value of the Ponjavica area is the mixed heron colony in Ponjavica, which was first discovered on June 5, 2008 (Simić and Tucakov, 2008). It is located in the bushes on an island in the western part of the Ponjavica stream, unoccupied on the edge of the Omoljica settlement. The value of this colony is that the protection of the islet on which it is located and the protection of the feeding place can ensure that other strictly protected species of colonial herons start nesting in this area. There is also potential for nesting of other colonial wader species as this is an initial colony.

An otter (Lutra lutra) was recorded near the beach near Banatski Brestovac. The finding of an otter in Ponjavica, despite the overgrowth and pollution of this watercourse, speaks of its value and potential. As a species at the top of the trophic pyramid that also hunts small predators, the otter is sensitive to water pollution and eutrophication, which often cause the suffering of fish fry and fish mortality. It is a strictly protected species in Serbia. It is also protected by the Bern Convention and the Habitats Directive.”
